What does my PC need to run the game?

The Steam Windows version requires Windows 11 (64-bit), DirectX 12, and 25 GB of available storage at both specification tiers. Compare your processor, graphics card, graphics memory, and system memory with the complete minimum and recommended lists below. Check each component before choosing your download.

How do I download the demo or full game?

Open the full game's Steam page to check the download and purchase options offered now. The Steam Next Fest demo's advertised availability extended until the full game's October 29, 2026 launch. Use the current product page when deciding which download to get.

What did the demo include, and how does the full game differ?

The demo offered the starting headquarters, shooting range, part of Colorado, A Matter of Rabbits, and three licensed species. You could track wildlife with a Retriever or Hound and explore in a Polaris UTV. Demo progress was not saved, and hunts did not award in-game currency. The full game features Colorado and Texas, with launch improvements to onboarding, wildlife behaviour, companion tracking, vehicle handling, and stability.

Is the full game free, and what does each Steam edition cost?

No. The Steam base game and Apex Predator Edition are paid purchases, with their prices compared below. The separate Classic American Hunter Pack DLC has a free promotional claim for eligible Steam users during its advertised offer period. Check that pack's offer terms before claiming it.

Can I play co-op or multiplayer now?

No. The current Steam release supports a single player, while reserve visiting with friends is planned for a later multiplayer update. That update is intended to let you explore a friend's hunting reserve even when you do not own that region yourself.

Will multiplayer include crossplay, and how large can a group be?

Crossplay will not be included in the initial multiplayer release. The announced reserve-visiting plan does not give a maximum party size. If you are organising a group, check the official roadmap for multiplayer release details before buying for that purpose.
